2 Thessaloniki Philippi Kavala Ionian Sea GREECE Aegean Sea TURKEY Corinth Athens Ephesus Samos Motor route Ship route Air route Patmos Dear Friends, Christianity may have remained an obscure sect of Judaism if a Jew named Paul had not carried the new faith to the greatest cities of the Roman Empire. Paul may not have been the sole founder of Christianity, but he was its best known promoter, as he took his Gospel message to important urban centers of what are now Greece and Turkey, in the heart of the Roman Empire. This was when the empire was at its height, between the reigns of Augustus and Trajan, dominating almost two million square miles, from Hadrian s Wall in northern England to the Caspian Sea in Asia. Roman law and Roman culture, to a great extent based on the culture of ancient Greece, knew no rival. Eventually, Rome declined and its empire disappeared. But much of the Greco-Roman legacy the law, literature, and architecture, was preserved for eternity, in no small way thanks to the triumph of Christianity. I am excited to be lecturing on this tour focused on Paul and his legacy. Our journey is designed to explore sites that are richly associated with some of the most dramatic moments in the history of the rise of Christianity set in the context of the Greco-Roman culture of St. Paul s life and times. We will begin in Thessaloniki, the biblical Thessalonica, where St. Paul founded a Christian community in the midfirst century AD; ancient Philippi, an important stop in St. Paul s apostolic mission; Athens, where in AD 51 St. Paul preached on the unknown God; and Corinth, where St. Paul spent 18 months. From the lovely island of Samos, we will visit fabled Ephesus, one of the world s greatest ancient sites, where we will walk the same street St. Paul walked, and step inside the very amphitheater where he spoke. We will also explore the holy island of Patmos where St. John the Divine was exiled in AD 95, and where he received his vision of the Apocalypse. I hope you can join me on this fascinating journey that traces the path of St. Paul and explores the emergence of Christianity around the ancient world of the Aegean Sea. Kind regards, Prof. Bart D. Ehrman James A. Gray Distinguished Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill P.S.

Enjoy lunch and time at leisure in picturesque Kavala, which is built on two hills facing the harbor., L Kavala Rotunda of Galerius, Thessaloniki Founded in 316 BC and named after the half-sister of Alexander the Great, Thessaloniki, the biblical Thessalonica, commands a beautiful position at the head of a spacious bay. St. Paul founded a Christian community here in AD and directed two of his epistles to the Thessalonians. Thessaloniki was also an important center of Jewish learning. The city is renowned for its monuments dating from late antiquity, and for its early Christian churches, which we will visit in the morning, including the Vlatadon Monastery, where St. Paul preached; the church of Aghios Georgios, built on a Roman rotunda; the church of Aghia Sophia, believed to be older than its namesake in Istanbul; the Cathedral of Aghios Demetrios, the guardian of the city; and the church of Holy Apostles, with its striking 14th-century mosaics. In the afternoon, visit the splendid Museum of Byzantine Culture, and spend time at leisure to explore this vibrant city on your own. Wednesday, June 5 ~ THESSALONIKI/PHILIPPI/KAVALA/ THESSALONIKI Drive in the morning to Philippi, founded in the 4th century BC by Phillip II, the father Alexander the Great. It is believed that here St. Paul delivered his first sermon on European soil and baptized his first convert, St. Lydia (AD 49). He addressed one of his epistles to the people of Philippi. After exploring the ancient city, including the remains of several early basilicas, drive to nearby Kavala, the ancient port town of Neapolis, where St. Paul landed in Thursday, June 6 ~ THESSALONIKI/SAMOS Fly from Thessaloniki to Samos, the lush Greek island located near the coast of Turkey. One of the wealthiest islands of antiquity, Samos was also a renowned center of learning. Spend the next four nights at the lovely Hotel Doryssa Seaside Resort., L, D Friday, June 7 ~ SAMOS/EPHESUS/SAMOS The ancient theater of Ephesus Sail in the morning the short channel across to Turkey s port of Kusadasi, and from there continue to nearby Ephesus, one of the most prominent cities of antiquity, now a magnificent archaeological site. Founded by Greeks around 1100 BC, Ephesus flourished between 600 BC and AD 500, becoming one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the Roman Empire, and an early center of Christianity from the AD 50s. St. Paul lived here from AD Our exploration of the site will include the Street of Kuretes, the same street St. Paul walked during his stay, the theater, which held 24,000 people and the site where the famous riot against
4 him took place, the many monuments that line the street, the Church of the Councils and the house of the Virgin Mary. Return to Samos in the afternoon., L, D Saturday, June 8 ~ SAMOS One of the wealthiest and most powerful city-states of ancient Greece, Samos achieved the pinnacle of its brilliance in the 6th century BC, when its energetic merchants had pioneered trade routes stretching from Egypt to Spain, and when magnificent public works were undertaken. Samos was also an intellectual powerhouse. Pythagoras, philosopher, mathematician and discoverer of the geometric theorem that bears his name was a native son, Aesop wrote his fables here, and many artists, writers and philosophers from throughout Greece were drawn to the island. Tour in the morning Samos s most important monuments, including the remains of the Heraion, the enormous shrine dedicated to the Mother Goddess; the Tunnel of Eupalinos, one of the greatest engineering feats of antiquity; the monastery of Panaghia Spyliani; and the Archaeological Museum in Vathy. Spend the afternoon at leisure. Tuesday, June 11 ~ ATHENS One of the world s most venerable cities, Athens is the capital of Greece and Europe s oldest city. Its monuments and the treasures in its museums are reminders of the city s glorious past. Start in the morning by visiting the hill of the Areopagus, the place where the Assembly of the Athenians met, and the place where St. Paul preached his celebrated sermon on the Unknown God. Continue to the Acropolis to visit its monuments, including the incomparable Parthenon, built in the 5th century BC. In the afternoon, tour the Agora, the heart of public life of ancient Athens. Here, Socrates conversed with his fellow citizens questioning their assumptions, and St. Paul preached Christianity to Athenians. Sunday, June 9 ~ SAMOS/PATMOS/SAMOS Patmos s Monastery of St. John, with the town spread below Sail for the day to Patmos, the island where St. John the Divine ( Theologos in Greek) was exiled to from Ephesus in AD 95 by the Roman Emperor Dominian, and the place where he received the vision of the Apocalypse (Revelation), which is now the last book of the New Testament. According to tradition, St. John received the vision in a cave, which we will visit after we land on this holy island. A little further up the road is the imposing fortress-like Monastery of St. John, built in 1088 on top of a ridge. The monastery consists of several chapels, in addition to the church of St. John, that are rich in ecclesiastical treasures. Outstanding is the Library. Below the monastery spreads charming Chora, Patmos s main town, with its characteristic architecture. Enjoy lunch in Patmos before returning to Samos and the hotel., L, D. Monday, June 10 ~ SAMOS/ATHENS Transfer to the airport for the flight to Athens. Upon arrival, transfer to the Hotel Plaza, located on Constitution Square, the center of the city, and within walking distance from many of its attractions. The Acropolis of Athens Wednesday, June 12 ~ ATHENS/CORINTH/ATHENS Leave Athens in the morning for Old Corinth, one of the most prominent and powerful cities of ancient Greece. During the Roman period, Corinth achieved the point of its greatest prosperity and wealth. It is estimated that the city had a population of 300,000. St. Paul spent 18 months here (AD 51-52) practicing his trade as a tentmaker (Acts XVIII), and challenging the luxurious lifestyle of the Corinthians. Visit the site and the Museum. Also, see the Corinth Canal, the narrow waterway that separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. After lunch in Corinth, return to Athens in the afternoon.
